I love those sorts of skies, Terri. The anticipation of how big the storm will be or if it will disappear with a whimper. I’m always disappointed when angry skies bring nothing.
Such amazing clouds. I had to look them up in my pocket cloud book. Having only lived here 15 months, I’ve never seen so many wildflowers! The benefits of a long snowy winter and cool wet spring, unusual foe Spokane area. Thanks, Hugh! And again for the WW inspiration 😁
Long cold winters and wet springs bring the best out of plant life, Terri. We’ve had a dry spring, although had our first spell of prolonged rain today. The gardens were thirsty.
You mentioned having a pocket cloud book in your reply to Hugh. I have been trying to find the one (at least I thought) I own. It must be fun to learn the names of new formations you aren’t familiar with.
Those clouds are whipped into a frenzy, that’s for sure. We’re on track for a storm to blow through here in the next half hour. I love the idea of a wild sunflower bush. I hope they last all Summer!

It is a very useful book, Janis. My daughter sent it to me: The Met Office Pocket Cloud Book. An option if you can’t find yours.
